Very likely this isn't fixed in 1.9.3 either. Infinite scrolling has effectively been superseded by Scroller ( http://datatables.net/extras/scroller/ ) which is superior in every way but one - you must know the size of the data set. It is likely that infinite scrolling will be removed at some point in future, although a plug-in could be created to match its feature set.

As such, unless the fix for this is trivial, it is likely to be a "known issue" bug I'm afraid.

Infinite scrolling ( bScrollInfinite ) has been removed in DataTables 1.10 (which has just been merged to master) due to issues like this. Resolving them would add a large amount of code, so infinite scrolling has now been replaced by Scroller.
